What is a Shelf Corporation?

A shelf corporation is a pre-registered business entity that has been formed but never actively used, essentially created and left “on the shelf” so it can age and later be sold to someone who wants an existing company rather than starting a new one from scratch. It typically has no operations, assets, or liabilities, but it comes with an earlier incorporation date, which buyers may use to appear more established, meet “time in business” requirements for contracts or financing, or try to gain credibility with customers and lenders.

Articles of Incorporation vs Articles of Organization

Articles of incorporation and articles of organization are both state‑filed documents that create a legal business entity, but articles of incorporation are used for corporations, while articles of organization are used for LLCs. They serve a similar “formation” purpose but reflect different ownership, governance, and tax structures.
Basic definitions
Articles of incorporation: Filed with the state to bring a corporation into existence as a separate legal entity from its shareholders. This document is sometimes called a certificate of incorporation or corporate charter, depending on the state.
Articles of organization: Filed with the state to create a limited liability company (LLC), which is technically “organized,” not “incorporated,” under state law. Some states call this a certificate of formation or certificate of organization.
